The stakes couldn't be higher for the Grand Final rematch, but not for the reasons we might've expected. Instead of a clash between two of the heavyweights of the competition, Thursday night's match has become a must-win game for both Brisbane and Collingwood just to keep the season alive.

This week on the Roar Deal, we talk through the likely lineup changes for the Easter Thursday showdown, look at Collingwood's struggles across the first three weeks, and talk with Nine News QLD's Chief Political Reporter Tim Arvier about the political landscape surrounding the Olympic stadium.

Also this week:

-Are Jarrod Berry's shoulders up to playing in the midfield?

-Mike's thoughts on walking to the Gabba vs walking to Carrara

-How a sliding doors moment on the Lions search for a new training & admin base could have changed the entire stadium saga

And much more!
